“Fantastic experience! I am on the road a lot for work and this place made me feel like I was at home having a Sunday night meal. The bartenders have great comedic timing and it is one of my favorite spots in NJ. ❤️”
“A lovely, beautiful latin American restaurant. Ordered the ceviche and birria tacos. The shrimp ceviche was a fun, tasty dish. I even enjoyed eating the orchid flower! The yuca fries were delicious 😋 Birria was on the salty side. Next, I will have to their other dishes.”
“Billiard, Whiskey, Dr. Peppers and Food AND OF COURSE: Great People”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Peter's Place is like a Trenton Cheers. Bartenders are amazing, drinks reasonably priced, patrons are welcoming and friendly. Come on down and have a drink. First one will be on "The Sport" Mikey (the owner).”
“This convenience store is very small. Hard to social distance. The guys who work there are very nice. This store has been in the neighborhood for about 50 years.”

“My wife and I found this wonderful establishment through a work night out. We have been going there weekly ever since. The staff are amazing and know our drink orders and bring them to the table as we are settling in. They are always friendly, remember our favorite food and are attentive to us, even when they are busy! We recommend First &10 all the time!”

“Dairy Queen continues to be one of my favorite go-to spots for both meals and sweet treats. Not only is the food consistently tasty, but the prices are also surprisingly affordable — especially compared to most fast food places these days. You can get a full meal (burger, fries, and drink) for less than what you'd spend at other chains, and the quality is just as good, if not better.
Their burgers are always hot and fresh, and I love the crispy chicken strips — they're flavorful, not overly greasy, and perfectly cooked every time. The portion sizes are generous too, which makes it a great value overall.
Of course, you can't talk about Dairy Queen without mentioning the ice cream. The Blizzards are legendary, with tons of mix-in options and seasonal flavors that keep things fun. The soft serve is creamy and smooth, and their sundaes and cones never disappoint.
The restaurants are clean, the service is fast and friendly, and I always leave satisfied without breaking the bank. Whether you’re craving a quick lunch or a frozen treat, Dairy Queen hits the spot. Highly recommend it for families, budget-conscious diners, or anyone who loves classic comfort food done right!”
“I have to thank KK Sweets for the fabulous cake, cookies, macarons, and caneles. I couldn't have imagined a better cake. My idea of some of my favorite things on my cake, I thought couldn't be done. But KK Sweets came up with this amazing concept. That is totally me! And the witch's hat on top brought it together to match my theme of a "Salem Chic" 40th birthday party. It was too beautiful to cut, but we did...and it was delicious. The best cake I think I've ever had for any of my birthdays. For your next event, please go to KK Sweets in Hamilton on Quakerbridge Road. You will not be disappointed!”
“Nice Place to Drink & Have a Nice TIME with Friends I grew up with. I $till Live in Trenton at my Grandma's house”

“I was quite surprised the food was very good. I am picky and I was extremely satisfied. The food portions were more than enough. And the price I paid was fantastic!!! The staff was very personable. I'm definitely going back. I even had fresh Lemonade. They had several flavors. If you had a bad experience here I urge you to go back!”
“Dinner June of 2025, Excellent all around!! The Service!!! The food was perfect!!! Better than the service I had received at Morton's in AC. The booths could be spot cleaned and a couple of older tables replaced, but the people there were exceptional and attentive and on point.”
“I went to Olive Garden on 1st Jan 26 with my family. Our overall experience in dining out here was excellent. For one our server Jonah was very sweet and helpful that by itself helps add to the experience. Food quality, quantity and taste was amazing. I will definitely be going back to eat there”
“Enjoyable thin and crispy crust, tomato sauce has the most amazing flavor. We enjoyed it with sausage- also had great flavor. There is a large edge to the crust. Just wish the sauce and cheese went closer to the edge. But that’s our preference. Had terrific and efficient service from Ryan. FYI you can order it lite- so it is not as crispy or well, for more crispy and char. We didn’t make a request and it came out perfect. We ate in - booths are very comfortable and pizza always tastes better fresh out of the oven. Highly recommend.”
“Great dive bar for stiff drinks, old school music to sing along to and drunken bar food. There is also an outside seating area (public bench project) Also right next to the best crepes!”
“Whether you want to enjoy a live music performance or find a quiet corner to chat with friends, New Jersey bars can meet your different needs.”

“Having moved from Maine to Pennsylvania almost 25 years ago, we yearned for the fresh-caught seafood we had grown accustomed to…. Until Cousins Maine Lobster rolled into town! I am excited when they are in my area, and make it a point to treat myself whenever I can. The rolls are fresh, not frozen, and so delicious. Don’t forget a cup of chowder and a whoopie pie!”
“Stepping into this Burger King, you’re immediately greeted by a welcoming interior that promises a comfortable dining experience. The cleanliness of the restrooms is a testament to the staff’s attention to detail, ensuring every aspect of the customer experience is pleasant. The food, as always, is delicious and satisfying, living up to the brand’s reputation. What truly sets this location apart, however, is the exceptional service, particularly from the manager, whose helpfulness and dedication to customer satisfaction are noteworthy. A fast-food experience that feels a cut above the rest.”
“Both persons behind the counter were focused and friendly! I was grateful at how efficient they were which got me back on the road faster. And it was an excellent touch that despite being in a busy travel plaza, they double checked to make sure I didn't leave without startling perfect order and sauce! The food was fresh and a hell of a lot better than I expected from the rest station so I really hope this crew is working the next time I pass through. I was delighted!”
“Food not the healthiest but it is a hamburger joint. They have salads which are a choice but not the best salads compared to other salad places. For unhealthy food, it us as good if not better than other hamburger joints. Better fries than other places. Service was good. Ambiance was good. Place is modern and clean.”
“Incredibly welcoming staff. Quaint and historic interior. The food is out of this world! Can't wait to get back there again for that Primo sauce!”
“Classy place with excellent food.
The owner Richard always courteous, professional, and welcoming as are his staff.
Trenton is lucky to have top notch dining and music establishment like this.”

“I give classic Subs 4 stars only because I think they could be a little more sanitary when it comes to making sandwiches. For instance, when there making sandwiches, they go from making one sandwiche right to the next without changing their gloves. Also not putting paper down before making your sandwich. Other than that the sandwiches are delicious, and I will definitely go back.”
“We don't often go to the S Olden Ave location but we were pleasantly surprised with the top notch service we received tonight. The two young ladies working there tonight were both very pleasant and friendly, seemed generally interested in providing great service and did a delicious job making our sundaes. We've had less then good service at other local Carvel locations. Very glad we tried going there again.”
“You will always see this place full of happy returning patrons and we are two of them. Food quality is fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. You have to try their Brick Oven pizzas. If you crave an American cheese hoagie, that is prepared on the best tasting roll in New Jersey, delicious cheese, and crisp lettuce and onions, try one of theirs. The very best that we have ever judged.”
“This is an amazing restaurant, from the moment you walk in you are treated like family. I enjoy every moment of my visit everytime I come dine here. I highly reccomended this place to all my family and friends. Jose and Amy are always so pleasant and take the time to answer any questions we have. I can't say enough about this fantastic place to dine in, relax, and take a day off from the kitchen at home.”
“It's hard to find a bar in the city that you want to come back to over and over since there are so many to choose from, however Butter meets that exception.”
“Food is great, just needed a better appearance while waiting on your food.”

If uve never had Pho before, try theirs- u won't regret it at all, especially during the winter months!

“Been fienin for a pork roll egg and cheese sandwich since my hometown tigers deli no longer exists.. This place caught me off guard because it looks like a house. The hospitality was great , nostalgic days with the guys in there talking sports and joking.
I ordered 2 pork roll egg and cheese sandwiches, they were out of Kaiser rolls but the back up bread was very fresh and good. Sandwiches were great. Pork roll was not thin either the thick slices...I would've took a picture but we ate it ?.
Thanks”

“Stepping into The Orchid House in Trenton feels like a warm hug from a beloved family member. This gem isn't just a restaurant; it's an experience that lingers long after your last bite. The food (primarily vegetarian/vegan) takes center stage; they craft every dish of fresh ingredients and unique flavors. They have an array of delicious natural juices that our team couldn't stop drinking, so we purchased all they had left. Every bite and sip is a journey for your taste buds. But what truly makes The Orchid House shine is its service. The staff's hospitality is genuine, offering warm smiles alongside knowledgeable recommendations. The ambiance is equally inviting and offers comfort. Soft lighting and gentle music create a haven for relaxed dining. And the heart of it all? The passionate owners pour their love for food and community into every aspect of the restaurant. So, if you're seeking an unparalleled culinary adventure where every guest feels like family, The Orchid House awaits with open arms (and delicious food!).”
“I just left Ila Mae’s and was very pleased with the food and service. I am a foodie so I got shrimp and grits with cheese, chicken and waffles, spinach omelet with bacon…my tummy was happy! Of course I have food left to take home to enjoy later. I found this restaurant online and was a little skeptical because I am not from the area.I will be returning❤️”

“The food here tastes amazing and makes the whole experience even better. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, and the atmosphere feels just right. Every person I interacted with, from the staff to other guests, was kind, supportive, and genuinely friendly. It is the kind of place where you instantly feel comfortable and enjoy your time. I only wish they stayed open longer because this spot is truly special. Great food, great people, and an overall unforgettable experience.”

“I’ve been coming to the Wendy’s on olden Avenue for a long time, and I’m beyond disappointed. I have strict dietary restrictions and can only eat the beef patties — no bun, no sides, nothing else. Every other Wendy’s I’ve gone to has no problem selling me just the patties, but this location suddenly refuses to do it anymore, saying they’re “not allowed.” That makes absolutely no sense.
I used to come here regularly because they’d accommodate my needs, but now they act like I’m asking for something unreasonable. I’m not — I just want to buy the same food item they’re already serving, without the extras. It’s frustrating, inconsiderate, and honestly ridiculous that this one location is giving me such a hard time when others don’t.
If you care about your customers’ needs or dietary restrictions, don’t go to this Wendy’s. They clearly don’t.”

“Caramel iced lattes are usually my go-to. Theirs are good and I even tried one of their protein drinks with caramel, which did not disappoint either. My favorite thing is the atmosphere. I appreciate the seating variety — tables and chairs for 2-4 to eat, couches to lounge, high chairs with a window view for solo remote laptop work, or outdoor seating on the back patio for fresh air. Sometimes the music is good and sometimes they have movies playing on the tv. I’ve also seen a well-behaved pup pup, indoors. It’s a chill environment to get work done, the service is good, and there’s plenty of parking but often busy/full.”
